Few rumbles continue early this evening with patchy fog tonight
Tonight features mostly cloudy skies with a few scattered showers and storms, mainly before midnight. Though our severe weather threat overall is very low, cold air in the mid-levels of our atmosphere will make it a little easier for small hail to develop in any storm that grows vertically, so an isolated hail threat will continue with any showers that develop. Showers will diminish after midnight with patchy fog developing toward dawn as temperatures dip back into the mid 40s with a light southwest breeze.
Tuesday provides more sunshine and drier conditions than Sunday and Monday despite our lingering upper level low spinning nearby. That low will gradually move north, taking the bulk of its associated showers with it. Although an isolated shower can't be ruled out in our northern counties, most of us should remain dry with temperatures a little cooler for this time of year, with highs in the low 60s. Partly to mostly sunny skies during the afternoon will translate to partly clear skies overnight, which is good news for stargazers as the Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks during the overnight into early Wednesday. As many as thirty meteors can be seen per hour – meteors will radiate from Aquarius but can be seen anywhere in the sky!
Wednesday provides plenty of sunshine with a weak area of high pressure scooting in out ahead of our next system. High temperatures will return to close to normal for this time of year near seventy degrees.
Thursday presents another opportunity for scattered showers with a low pressure system scooting in from the south. This will bring showers into the region, especially for the afternoon. Severe weather is not expected, with highs in the low 70s.
Friday sees that low pressure system exit off to our northeast into New England. After a few morning sprinkles, we will see the sunshine return for the afternoon in what will be the beginning of a fantastic Mother's Day weekend with highs in the mid 60s.
Mother's Day Sweepstakes
Saturday will provide plenty of sunshine with high pressure in control. High pressure will be to our north, meaning we will have a light northerly breeze keeping us cool with highs in the mid 60s.
Mother's Day will be beautiful! High pressure continues to provide plenty of sunshine and temperatures will nudge their way up a bit more to around 70 degrees. The weather will be great to take mom out somewhere and show appreciation!
75 (great) Mother's Day gifts
Tuesday continues the beautiful weather! With a small uptick and heat and humidity, an isolated mountain sprinkle can't be ruled out. Most are dry with plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid 70s.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, a couple of systems will provide chances for light rain, one on Wednesday and another on Friday. The latter of those two systems looks to be the beginning of an active stretch of weather expected the week before Memorial Day. High temperatures will remain in the 70s.

What is the Florida weather forecast for Father's Day? What to know
Before you get ready to fire up the grill or make your Father's Day beach plans, it might be a good idea to check the weather. Dad's day comes right as Florida traditionally serves up afternoon thunderstorms and surprise rain showers. It also comes right after the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season starts, and the National Hurricane Center is currently watching three tropical waves out there. But experts aren't expecting anything to develop any time soon. "None of the reputable forecast models are showing a realistic chance of anything tropical forming on the Atlantic side of Central America through mid-month," said Dr. Ryan Truchelut, chief meteorologist with WeatherTiger. But this is Florida, so that doesn't mean dad won't get wet. Rain is possible across the state, but the Peninsula is forecast to have a greater-than-33% chance of precipitation from June 14 through the 18th, according to the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center. North and Central Florida are expected to have their historical amounts of rainfall and South Florida may be dryer than usual. For this time of year, that still means rain. Feeding dad: Father's Day 2025 food deals and specials for fast food, restaurant chains in Florida As of June 9, the NWS is forecasting: , western Panhandle: Showers and thunderstorms are expected all week into the weekend, with an 80% chance of rain on Sunday as of June 9. Weekend temps are expected to be in the mid 80s. , central Panhandle: Showers and thunderstorms likely all week, mostly in the afternoons. Chance of rain is 70% during the weekend, with highs in the low 90s. , North Florida: Chances of showers and thunderstorms will increase through the week with an80% chance of precipitation on the weekend. Weekend temps will be in the low 90s. across to and down to Stuart: Showers and thunderstorms possible in the mornings and afternoons all week, with a 50% chance Saturday and a 40% chance Sunday. Temps in the 80s. to : South Florida: Storms possible all week, with 50% chance of precipitation on Saturday and Sunday on the east coast, 60% on the Gulf Coast. Temps in the mid 80s. to , Southwest Florida: Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible all week, with high heat indexes around Fort Myers in the beginning of the week. By the weekend, expect isolated showers and a 50% chance of rain, with highs in the low 90s.. Father's Day is always the third Sunday in June. This year that's Sunday, June 15. Mother's Day started as a commercial holiday in 1908 and was made an official holiday in six years later by President Woodrow Wilson. Father's Day started in response to Mother's Day with the first celebration in 1910, but it took six decades to become official. According to the country's first event explicitly in honor of fathers occurred as a one-time event in 1908 in memory of the 361 men killed in the Monongah, West Virginia mining disaster that left more than a thousand children without a dad the year before. It had been suggested by Grace Golden Clayton, the daughter of a minister. A year later, Sonora Smart Dodd, who was one of six children raised by a twice married, twice widowed Civil War veteran, began advocating for a day to honor the "loving service" of fathers. In 1909, she talked the Spokane Ministerial Association to honor fathers nationwide for their dedication to their families and by 1910, Washington became the first state to celebrate a statewide Father's Day. Father's Day celebrations were slow to be accepted, with some calling a day for gifts and flowers unmanly and others calling for a single Parents Day. But shops promoted it during the Great Depression as a way to get people to spend money and it took off during World War II as a way to support the troops. Presidents Wilson and Calvin Coolidge both recognized it, but it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon B. Johnson issued a proclamation designating the date. President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday in 1972. This article originally appeared on The Daytona Beach News-Journal: Father's Day forecast for Florida is stormy and hot.

Our View: As the heat spikes, so do drownings
Triple-digit temperatures are predicted for this weekend. Beyond that, the days are expected to be not much cooler. It is a reminder that the blistering Bakersfield summer has started, and residents and visitors will look to water for relief. But danger lurks in the many local swimming pools and the even bigger attraction, the Kern River. Urging pool safety during a recent press conference, Kern County health officials promoted the department's Water Watcher program, which calls for designating adults to always keep close tabs on children frolicking around backyard pools. They cited federal findings that drowning is the leading cause of unintentional, injury-related death for children ages 1 to 4. On average, 350 children under the age of 5 lose their lives to drowning every year in the United States. Within the past five years, 16 children in Kern County have lost their lives to drowning: two in the Kern River, two in bathtubs and 12 in swimming pools. In advance of the Memorial Day Weekend last month, county officials performed a grisly annual tradition — updating Kern Canyon entry signs to warn of the Kern River's danger. This year, the number of drownings posted on the signs went from 334 to 342. Eight people were taken by the Kern in 2024. Last year's July 4th holiday was particularly deadly. Four people drowned. The count, which began in 1968, doesn't include people who died in the upper Kern River, in Tulare County, which doesn't keep drowning statistics on its section of river. It also doesn't include people who are still missing and presumed dead in the river. 'We tell the public this every year: The Kern River is dangerous,' said Sgt. Rodney Jones, who oversees the Kern County Sheriff's Office's search and rescue division. 'Do not go in it without professional guides or gear.' The water is cold and deceptively fast with numerous hidden hazards — branches, rocks, debris — that can snag you, trap you and pull you under, he said. The division posts additional search and rescue teams on holidays along the river to respond to emergencies and remind people about the dangers. Asked if Kern officials would consider closing off the river, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood responded with a firm NO. 'The river is a public place and there's way too many access points for us to patrol,' he said. 'You can't legislate stupidity. If you need to be told to stay out of that river, there's something wrong with you.' Youngblood is right. It's up to all of us to heed repeated warnings and keep ourselves, families and friends safe. ■ Watch children closely. Never let them into the river unattended. ■ Do not go in the river if you can't swim. ■ Use adequate flotation devices, not drug store floaties. ■ Make sure someone in your party can contact 911. Service in the canyon is sketchy. ■ Alcohol (or other mind-altering substances) do not mix well with the river. Several river rafting companies operate along the Kern. They offer safe and varying trips — depending on people's interests and experience. SJV Water, a local news outlet that covers water issues, reports that with less snowfall this year, the river will be running lower than in recent past years. But even though the water flow is lower, Jones noted that most people are not able to climb out if they are trapped on a rock. As evidence, on Sunday a man was found dead in the river. The man had gone missing after swimming in Isabella Lake without a flotation device. Just a few days later, a teenage girl was rescued from a tree in the river at Hart Park, just 90 minutes after another person was rescued from the same area, according to the Kern County Sheriff's Office. They were brought to shore uninjured. Again, the Kern County Sheriff's Office urged the public to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejacket when in or near the river. 'Despite appearing calm in some areas, the river's cold temperatures, swift currents and hidden hazards can quickly turn deadly,' KCSO once again warned in a news release.
